Chapter shorter but bloodier :X

Edited by: KenChi死

Now I found out how shitty my situation really was. I have already fought enemies twice my level… but never two of them in same time. Another thing is that levels do not completely show ones powers.

Repeating certain action over and over again would low amounts of exp and so-so amounts of skill exp while killing creatures would grant large amounts of exp and almost non-existing amounts of skill exp.

The difference? If 2 enemies would fight on the same level, which would be stronger? The one who would train to raise his level instead the one who would kill. And I have no doubt that the one I fought at least to a certain level were training.

I was pushed back on all possible levels. The “kid” was fast. My eyes couldn’t follow the movements of his daggers. Thet were dancing in his hands. From normal grip to reversed. From piercing to slashing. I was dodging desperately without even a second to consider what the girl was doing.

But I found out soon enough. As I get some distance between myself and  thedagger freak and started thinking which spells should be used in which combination the kid rushed at me once again. This time as he was shortening the distance the threw his daggers up to the air, then he performed so kind of weird jump I used to see in action movies he jumped to the front, landed on his hands and with momentum he forced a flip to once again stood on his feet. As he was back in position, he grabbed the daggers tied to his legs and threw them to the sides. Each of them would miss me by about half of the meter from both sides. Then he finished his performance by grabbing daggers a previously he threw into the air.

The problem is, that as he was doing his leap-flip-thing his sister casted spells similar to the fire ball with this difference that fire was way brighter… and I was sure she was more skilled with using her magic.

I was previously wondering if I could evaporate someone with fire in the future. I was pretty sure that that fireball could. So I jumped to the side. Right into the dagger that was thrown just a second ago. The dagger was now proudly sticking out of my arm.

* “Good instinct… nice reflex… You need to work a little with your overall fighting skills. I see you have a dagger, but as you didn’t pull it yet I can tell that you don’t feel skilled enough to fight with me on the same terms.”

I was being lectured by a kid. I didn’t care that he was 31. He looked like a kid, and it was pissing me off.

* “Show me what you are made of!

And now he is mocking me. But maybe I bought enough time for Kaito to take out the Caster.

The hellhound without any sound jumped out from the bushes and bolted into the direction of the girl. He made a leap. And Gretel without even looking at it with gesture raised some kind of light barrier a few meter from her. As Kaito ran through it he collapsed and started to howl quietly in pain.

* “Once again, nice idea, but to easy to predict. Taking out the healers and mages is, in the end, a priority during a clash of parties. It is only common sense to not leave those without protection.”

* “..am made off..”

* “Scuse me?”

* “You have just asked me to show you what I am made of… Don’t bite off more then you can chew brat!”

My anger simply took control over me. I howled to the sky as my body started to shift.

Shifting in processAvatar chosen:[Leshy]Bonuses will be added Strength+ 11Vitality+ 19Endurance+ 8All nature based spells dramatically improvedAccess to the [Acid spitter] venom: granted

The Slavic mythology showed dozen of possible appearances of this creature. Few described his as centaur like being, few more as similar to satyr. Other even as a green haired old man. But leshy [Leszy] had mostly one meaning. “The one from the forest”. And here was a meaning hidden behind the name. It was my personal mishmash of every being I found in the forest.

My feet were shifted into hooves, from head the deer’s horn were erected, hands were enlarged and ended with wolf’s claws, as my head turned into a weird hybrid of human and reptile.  My whole body was covered in snake scales.

* “If you worship any gods… it is a good time to start praying”

* “And I was wondering why they called you a monster… but I can see why you prefer to walk disguised as a human… man, you are sooo ugly.”

* “Still joking? Even as I didn’t finished… Codex! I am willing to pay the price of blood”

The book appeared right in front of me, it opened itself at already seen by me page as I placed my hand… paw… on it the “vines” from the pages erupted, crawled into my skin and began to drank my blood.

The assassin with a scream “As if I let you finish!”  bolted in my direction, only to be hit and pushed down by Sebastian who appeared out of nowhere.

* “Merciful light, you who shine in the darkest night…”

But other ravens started to fly all around the not so young priestess disturbing her chant. Whatever she wanted to cast would have probably doomed me, so I was more than grateful for their assistance. She started to rapidly release small fire balls that were setting the nearby trees on fire, for the birds were to agile for her to hit.

As the process was coming to an end I saw the rogue freed one of his hands from Sebastian choke and began to rapidly stab the creature in its stomach. There were no sign of physical fatigue shown by Sebastian, but I felt that his presence start fading from this realm. He did all his best to get me as much time as I needed.

Sebastian finally vanished in a flash of purple smoke and light. I also saw Gilbert being hit by one of the balls and meeting the same end as Sebastian.

The kid with madness in his eyes jumped reducing the distance between us, but this time it was way easier to keep up with his speed. His dagger collided with my claws creating sparks. His slash from the right was countered by my swing from the left. His thrust slipped on the scales of my right hand.

Every one of his attacks was countered by me, Each of my attempts to pull out his heart was swiftly and gracefully avoided. The wound on my arm made by the thrown dagger didn’t allow me to fully use my left side.

For now I was pushing him to one of the trees. As his back hit the trunk I gathered magic in my claws of both hands and slashed from both sides to the center.

The assassin ducked and rolled away between my legs as my claws hit the tree. The explosion could be seen and heard as the upper part of the tree was blown away. I roared displeased. I felt Remus existence fading.

As I turned around the kid tackled me down and pinned my arms to the ground with a short swords. I howled in pain. As I was unable to move. I looked at the assassin with hate in my gaze. What more could I do? But possibility appeared soon.

* “Nice game” the kid said catching breath. “But your bishops are down, rooks are falling and king is surrounded… this is check and now is m…”

I opened my mouth and spit venom right into his. God bless my luck, for he just couldn’t stop talking. He started to choke, and in order to remove the liquid from his lungs, he swallowed it.

In next moment he was squatting holding his neck as he couldn’t fight the burning sensations in his throat. The adrenaline kicked me. In a moment I didn’t feel any pain. Once again I used mana shock wave from my shoulders to free myself from being pinned to the ground. I wrenched the swords from my arms. Bolted to the kid, grabbed his head with both hands and lifter him up to meet his eyes.

* “Checkmate.” I hissed charging yet again my hands with mana, unleashing mana shock wave that made his head explode. In the same some moment Walter fell.

I lost all my familiars. I was wounded badly and slowly was losing consciousness. The only thing that was still keeping my upright was pure anger and desire to snap that little neck.

I took a step toward a girl that just now noticed her brother without a head. And something broke inside of her. I could see terror in her eyes and tears at her cheek.

* “You want to tell me… that you never took into consideration… that as hunters… you or your brother may die?” I was getting more and more pissed “So… it is okay… to kill everyone around… but when it is you who gets hurt… it is some kind of tragedy?”

The girl started running. I fell on one knee and touched the ground casting rapid growth. The vines and roots from all around the place erupted from the ground and begin to chase my target. One of the roots grabbed her leg and pulled her back making her fall into the dirt. Then another root joined, and vine, and again root, and again vine. She was held in mid air as I was approaching.

Before I could grab her neck she erected once again some kind of barrier that didn’t allowed me to touch my prey. Annoyed I start messing with her holy shield with my hand shrouded with [painful touch]. Slowly, inch by inch my claws went digging deeper and deeper.

Finally my hands tightened on her white, smooth neck depriving her body of life giving oxygen.

Everyone could tell the finale of the story. Her body, lifelessly was hanging in the grasp of roots and vines.

I collapsed on the ground, activating the mark before I embraced darkness.
